Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce; one won, one did not.
We all know very well about mobile phones that whether the mobile phone freezes or not depends on the core chip of the mobile phone. Which scientist invented the chip? Did you win a Nobel Prize? The answer may not be imaginable. Many people don’t know which scientist invented the chip? Did the scientist who developed the chip win a Nobel Prize?
In a sense, a chip is a circuit, specifically the internal structure of the circuit. Simply put, it is a transistor. What is a transistor? Using semiconductor materials to switch performance, the circuit representing 0 and 1 has the ability to perform simple calculations and combine transistors to form the core of a powerful processor.
Chips are common things in daily life. Whether in mobile phones or computers, there are chips. In the military, chips are an indispensable key. The role of chips is huge. Without chips, , the missile cannot be launched into the sky, and the aiming radar cannot run the chip. The chip is a very important thing, so important that it is related to the life and death of a country.
The inventor of the chip was not done by one person. It was invented jointly by Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce. They were interested in circuit problems since they were young. When they were in college, they developed research in this area. After graduation, I worked in a company without giving up my interest. Then I suddenly thought, what would happen if capacitors, transistors and other things could be put together? In this way, the size of the circuit was reduced and the two people had the same idea. The two people did not cooperate. The direction was correct and they kept working hard. At first, the engineer's plan was not very good. Later, he came up with the correct idea and this circuit was also adopted. Make it. At that time, the experimental results were good. The invention of the chip led to the crazy development of the electronics industry. It was also because of the chip that the inventor won the Nobel Prize in 2000. Other physicists had died before and did not win the Nobel Prize.
